The students must attend in 10 out of 12 exercises lessons. The home exercises will be done as automatic quizzes on Moodle.
Each exercise can benefit the student for 1 point at most. Students can accumulate 10 points from the exercises. The exercises should be fulfilled singly (joint submission is not allowed). A student which returned to the course and fulfilled his submission in the previous year, should submit the home task either. Exercise exemption will be given only because of a reserve duty and hospitalization.
